Tallis By M.C Rae,Killian McRae

The Empire of Andresium
is threatened by the corruption of the immortals, ancient beings given
the gift of eternal life after the death of the last reigning empress. A
prophecy speaks of their eventual downfall at the hands of one of their
own, however. Tallis is known by most simply as "The Loren," and seeks
to avoid her destiny while trying herself to remain untainted by the
decaying morals and indifference to the fates of men that plague her
kind. As the events of the prophecy begin to unfold, Tallis finds
herself conflicted between upholding her dedication to justice, and
falling victim to the ramifications of following the desires of her own
heart.

Grace's review:

While
reading Tallis, I was immediately captivated by M.C. Rae's style of
writing. It is simply impressive! I found myself pausing every couple
of paragraphs to absorb what I had just read, since the fantasy world
created is full of exceptional detail. From the descriptions of the
setting to the intricate storyline, I am in awe at what is included in
this novella.

Tallis is “The Loren” and immortal. There is a
prophecy involving herself that she'd rather not see fulfilled. She
shows no emotion, but her love, Tarameen, might just draw the feelings
out of her:

“At this point in my existence, to allow myself
to feel...What is the point in that? My fate is not my own. My destiny
is not to seek out the longings of my own heart. I am the Loren. How
can I allow myself to love?”--Tallis, M.C. Rae

Now, I didn't
know Tallis is the first in a series while I was reading it. I reached
the end, and I wanted more. That couldn't be the end!!! I was so
ecstatic to learn there will be other books! Read Tallis and delve into
an intriguing fantasy world!
